Kelly withdraws from Farmer’s Insurance Open

It’s not the start Troy Kelly wanted, but the PGA Tour is a long
season.

After missing the cut in last week’s Humana Challenge and
carding a 5-over 77 in the first round of the Farmer’s Insurance
Open on Thursday, the 34-year-old Central Kitsap grad withdrew from
the tournament at Torrey Pines. He told tour officials he was sick,
but his dad, Bob Kelly, said this will give him an extra
day-and-a-half to work on his swing at his home in La Quinta,
Calif., before heading to Phoenix for the Waste Management Open.
Kelly Monday qualified into the Phoenix tournament in 2011 and tied
for 57th. He missed the cut at Phoenix last season.
